Maurice Tiernay, Soldier of Fortune Produced by David Widger "Maurice Tiernay, Soldier of Fortune" by Charles James Lever is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book introduces Maurice Tiernay, whose life is shaped by the turbulent events of the French Revolution and his family's noble, yet tragic history. It explores themes of identity, survival, and the chaos of revolution, as well as the personal struggles of its main character amidst the societal upheaval." "At the start of the novel, we get an intricate background of Maurice Tiernay's lineage as he recounts the fate of his ancestors during the political turmoil in France. The opening scenes vividly portray the horrific events during the Reign of Terror, where Maurice witnesses his father’s execution at the guillotine, which thrusts him into a life of uncertainty. After the death of his father, Maurice is taken in by Père Michel, a former friend of his father. The narrative sets the stage for Maurice's development, ultimately leading him to navigate a world filled with violence, betrayal, and the quest for his own fortune in a society that is rapidly changing."
